Beater/no worries Pendleton Lite. I've done everything possible to it that a knife could realistically be needed for, and it's still in great shape.

EDC favorite Either my modded Leek (cut the blade an inch shorter and rounded it off into a stubby wharnecliff) or my customized Tenacious (black knife with blue scales swapped onto it.)

Dressy Only thing that comes close is my Kershaw Crown. Stainless & black Micarta make a fancy combo. :)

"I don't care if it's too big or scary right now" or "just for fun" CS Spartan.

Fixed blade favorite my Khukuri :D

Guilty pleasure ZT0350. It's an addictive flipper...

Hunting/fishing/trapping Probably my Pendleton again. It takes a great edge and is easy to sharpen up again when (not if - hunting uses dull a knife, lets just accept that fact) it gets dull.
 
Beater/no worries = SNG (great warranty)
EDC favorite = Small Sebenza
Dressy = Mnandi
"I don't care if it's too big or scary right now" or "just for fun" = Military is closest
Fixed blade favorite - ESEE 3
